Welcome Back B Week

It's great to have my B week students back, but I will miss A week. This week begins on Wednesday for B week. This term we will be studying the American Civil War. This week we will be studying chapter 14 in the book; the Causes of the Civil War. While there are no assignments this week, it is important that students keep the quiz on Friday in mind. My student teacher and I have listed the objectives for this week on a guide found in the documents section of this site. . This will help you prepare for the quiz.

Thanks for checking in,

Alan Schubert

8^th Grade Counselor Mrs. Allison will be speaking with the students this week about high school classes and the registration process. If you have any questions or comments you should direct those to you children so they can be prepared to ask questions about different high school education tracks, individual courses offered at Southeast High School or at other sites in the county, and what it takes to get into the post high school programs that they would like to enroll in (college, military, trade school, community college, etc.). Feel free to send any questions you have to my email and I will forward them to Mrs. Allison as well.

 

Thank you,
